Solangelo high school au but Nico is a girl

Wills POV

The soft moonlight makes her eyes shimmer like dark honey. Her face streaked with tears. Her lips parted slightly, 'kiss her' my mind mumbles over and over and over.

I should.
But I won't, not right now.
She's hurt, I'm gonna comfort her, not as a boy that wants to fuck her. As a boy that wants to cherish her and keep her safe from the dangers of the world and to love her and make her feel special.

I pull her forward and hug her, she collapses against my chest and sobs.
It's kinda cold outside, "Do you wanna go in?" I whisper. She squeaks our a little "yeah".
We walk inside and upstairs, it's late and I think we both need sleep at the moment. I don't want to sleep on the couch but I don't wanna make her uncomfortable, until "you can sleep in your bed?" She says quietly, her voice a little scratchy, "we can share?" she might not have heard me say that but I'm guessing from the blush that covered most of her face that she did hear it "okay" she squeaks.

I have a quick shower and put on some track suit pants. I don't wear a shirt because I just want it to be that sort of Wattpad book, ya know?

I walk into my room and see Nico sitting on the floor in the corner, her eyes full of tears but none had fallen yet. She looks up at me, her bottom lip quivering, "m-my father called" I can feel my heart in my throat. I ran over to her and hug her, "can you tell me what he said? It's ok if you can't" I sit down in front of her holding her hand in mine. She shakes her head, "no, I should get it off my chest. You can help me get through this, if you can't I don't really care I just need someone with me." She pauses, "if I sum it all up he pretty much told me I would regret it and he will get me back and make my life worst" she let out a shakes breath and a few tears rolled down her cheeks.

"He's not going to hurt you again." I rub small circles on the palm of her hand, "you can have a shower and then we should get some sleep. If you wanna talk about anything else just tell me, what ever you have to say I'll listen." She hugs me tightly "thank you will" she kisses my cheek lightly. My face heats up and I have a serious urge to smile. I stand up and hold my hand out to help her up too, she takes my hand and I pass her one of my jumpers and a pair of my comfy basket ball pants that don't fit anymore, "I kinda guessed that you don't have pajamas since you weren't planning on staying over tonight, we can go out and buy you some clothes tomorrow." She nods and takes the clothes "you're the best, Will" she smiles again, she's so pretty when she smiles.

While she's showering my mum comes into my room, I thought she had gone to sleep and the walls are pretty thick in my house so it's difficult to hear what's going on in other rooms. She comes in apparently just to say goodnight, my dad walks in behind her , "so willy?" I hate that nickname, "what's going on with you and Nico?" She asks innocently, "nothing, why?" I wasn't really lying, I didn't know either, all I knew was that we liked each other but Nico thought she wasn't good enough, which is a complete and utter lie. "Well we don't see her for ages and the next thing I know she staying in our house for as long as she wants, which we are fine with by the way, but she's sleeping in your room and it looks like your sleeping here too." She points at me laying under the covers comfortable. I see where she's coming from, I would be sceptical if my son had a girl sleeping in his bed constantly but they weren't 'dating'. I shrug "I'll keep you updated" I probably won't. I know I sound like an asshole but my mum just gets very nosy in stuff and doesn't understand signs of when to stop pushing your child or people in general, my dad just follows her to calm situations down. (Hi, it's me, the writer. I don't feel like changing wills dad to Apollo from the original OCs dad, so let's just say that this guy is wills mortal dad.)

They walk out of the room and seconds later nico walks in, the pants were still super big on her even though they didn't fit me, I thought it was cute. She flops down next to me and pulls the covers over her, she rolls on her side facing me and closes her eyes, sighing loudly "hot showers are the best" i hum in agreement. Her cheeks are flushed from the heat of the shower and her lips look softer and pinker than before, which I thought was impossible. Her skin looks even clearer and she looks happier. I smile, "you wanna sleep?"I ask quietly "What's the time?" She opens her eyes and I check my phone "11:23" I answer "what the fuckkkkk" She says, I laugh a bit and she smiles looking at me.

"Well, I would usually go to bed at like 1 pm cause of school but I don't have much coming up and it's already stuff I know so I'm gonna wing it" "that's probably not the best idea but I feel like you know what your talking about" her voice is getting slower and more lazy. "Well, we should sleep" She nods. I get up to turn off the light and stumble back to the bed, I hit my shin on the side of my desk and yelp "you good?" Nico mumbles out clearly about to fall asleep. "Yeah, I'm fine" I finish stumbling to the bed and lay down next to nico, "Jesus, I'm so tired" she says stifling a yawn, "crying does that too you" "mmm, yeah also I feel safe here" "good" I smile, all I can hear is the soft breathing of the beautiful girl next to me, I get comfortable trying not to move around as much so I sdon't disturb her. "Hey will?" She says quietly once I've settled down, "yeah?" "Why aren't you wearing a shirt?" She mumbles "it's comfortable, I can put one on if you want?" "Nah, it's fine" She falls asleep like a second after leaving me to lie there and think about what the fuck just happened.
